Problem 1: Nabadiganta Industrial Township Multi-modal Interchange

(Themes: Transit Oriented Development, Traffic Management)

Submission Date: 12th September

LOCATION AND CONTEXT


The area under study is located in the Nabadiganta Industrial Township Area (erstwhile Sector V of
Salt Lake) of Kolkata. It is a major IT hub of the city and attracts a high number of employees to the
area. Two new Metro Rail Stations have been proposed in the area that are currently under
construction. With the introduction of this new rapid transit system, NDIT area is set to experience a
boost in the number of its daily floating population. The area also has two government bus depots,
one private bus depot and one private bus parking area. The government bus depots are located back
to back near the proposed Sector V metro station. As part of the efforts to provide convenient last
mile connectivity to the metro rail users, alighting at Sector V metro rail station, two new modes have
been proposed, namely e-pods and public shared bicycles. The site for this design problem is the area
near the existing government bus depots and the proposed metro rail station.

DESIGN CHALLENGE
Site area: 29,900 sq.m.

The project has to be taken up in a Public Private Partnership model. The government owned site
(WBTC bus depot) will be redesigned with multiple facilities, in order to create saleable commercial
space along with all the existing functions. The private developer will transfer all but the commercial
space to the government. The commercial space will be the only source of revenue for the developer.
The aim is to maximise the area that the government entity will get back after the completion of the
project. Finance will be obtained from external sources. The architect should prepare a business plan
and evaluate the R.O.I. (Return on Investment) of the above project for a different mix of outright sale
or lease of the square footage. For any given loan amount refer the link to get the EMI estimate @
